we would like to add X days as an accrual PTO balance to employees from 1.1.25, right now we only see xx hours as an option to track PTO. Please advise.

Tracking the time of days in PTO isn't possible in QuickBooks Online (QBO), Pallavi. I've got a workaround for you. 

 

Instead of tracking to specific days, you can calculate the total actual working hours per day for your employees. Here's how to record them in QBO: 

 

  1. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
  2. Select your employee.
  3. From Pay types, select Start or Edit.
  4. Scroll down to the Time Off Policies section. Select Add new [time off pay] policy from the dropdown ▼ menu to add a policy for Paid time off. 
  5. Complete the on-screen fields to create your policy, then select Save.

 

Moreover, you might want to consider checking this article about how location tracking is used and how it works: Set up and use location tracking in QBO
